I guess my question is if at time = 0, particle "a" and particle "b" arrive at diametrically opposed places on the sphere, and when time = 1, particle "a" and particle "b" arrive at each other's starting point, what is the equation for both of them traveling in a helix over the surface of the...

Yes, that is what I mean, in that "a" leaves where particle "b" entered and vice-versa... However, they don't travel over a circle, they travel in a helix (thank you for the correct term) over the surface of a sphere. Am I leaving anything out, now, that makes this an actual question? Whew! I...

Oh! I'm sorry I was unclear... What I mean by "exchange places" is like those math problems we did long, long ago when it was: Train A leaves the station at 10:00. Train B leaves another station at 11:00... etc... what time do they meet? So, imagine that particle "a" and particle "b" are...

Aloha! This is my first post, and I hope that I am posting in the correct area... I need help with a math problem that is beyond my math skills. If anyone can answer it, I'd be very grateful! Here's my problem: Imagine two particles, say "a" and "b" that are traveling (in positive...
